       President Bian Zhenjia made a meeting summary on behalf of the Second Council. He stated that “100-day Campaign” in 2019 is a crack-down on illegal practices involving health products in the special food industry. Currently consumers rush to buy special foods overseas as they do not feel secure about domestic products. Under such circumstance, many Chinese companies conduct overseas mergers and acquisitions and the industry downturn will remain the same for some time to come. The Association will pursue Six Regulation Initiative across the industry as its main task in 2020. It will call for participants to respect the law of development, follow the industry regulation, get future plan done and set large-scale development as its goal. Following the healthy development of the industry, China's special food industry is bound to step out of its predicament and move towards sound development. President Bian's summary report was reviewed and approved on the meeting. The report is realistic and far-sighted, presenting the next step for the CNHFA and a top-level design to push forward standardized, healthy, long-term industry development in an orderly way.

       The representatives agreed that the CNHFA should stick with the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), hold high the great banner of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese characteristics. To this end, it needs to fulfill its duties and tasks stipulated in the association's regulation, promote the healthy development of the nutrition and health food industry, improve quality and efficiency of industrial upgrading, and make contribution to people’s healthier nutritional balanced diet.
